Difficult

The faucet in the kitchen on the first floor was not completely turned off, and the water fell into the water tank one by one, and the sound of the ding-dong was particularly ethereal in the dark.

Tang Jielin didn't expect Ye Zhen to attack suddenly, the huge force made him subconsciously take a step back, and his whole body was pressed against the wall.

Ye Zhen came out in a hurry, and the water stains on his arms that were not wiped off all touched Tang Jielin's chest. The rapid and intense breathing was transmitted to Tang Jielin's chest through the contact of his limbs, and Ye Zhen seemed to be trembling a little.

The corridor suddenly became quiet, and Ye Zhen seemed to have nothing to say except for the moment he came out out of anger.

Tang Jielin stretched out his hand tentatively, and pressed Ye Zhen's elbow. The trembling feeling became more and more obvious. Ye Zhen was really scared, so he patted Ye Zhen's arm to comfort him.

"I won't tell others, can you let me take a shower?"

Ye Zhen was probably too scared, he didn't care about Tang Jielin's tone of coaxing the child, he slowly let go of Tang Jielin, hesitating for two steps on the spot, he seemed a little panicked.

Tang Jielin was thinking about sending him back to his room, but he happened to take a change of clothes and went downstairs to boil water to take a bath. He turned around and walked upstairs. It was rare for Ye Zhen to accompany him so obediently.

When he arrived at the room, Tang Jielin lit a candle, found something by the weak candlelight, and then wanted to leave, but Ye Zhen followed him again.

Tang Jielin frowned, and asked, "You don't want to watch me take a bath, do you?"

Who?Who wants to guard this gay bather!

But now Ye Zhen's mouth is soft, he has no way to confront Tang Jielin, so he can only hold back his breath.

"You wash yours, why do you care about me?"

Tang Jielin had no choice but to blow out the candles, and took Ye Zhen downstairs again. After the hot water was boiled, Ye Zhen stood in the corridor next door and waited for him with his mobile phone.

For a sense of security, Ye Zhen always stood against the wall. His mind was out of control at this time, and some vague horror scenes kept jumping out. Even the sound of water through the door seemed extremely frightening.

Tang Jielin didn't hear Ye Zhen's voice for a while, he was a little worried, and knocked lightly on the door panel, "Ye Zhen?"

"What are you doing?" Ye Zhen was not frightened, Tang Jielin's voice sounded like heaven, and he was inexplicably relieved.

While washing, Tang Jie comforted Ye Zhen, "Don't think wildly, some things are fake, what are you afraid of? Don't believe it, you won't be afraid naturally."

What Ye Zhen was afraid of was very abstract, and it wasn't something Tang Jielin could convince him not to be afraid of with a few words.

"Stop talking nonsense and wash quickly."

Tang Jielin didn't shut up, and continued chatting with Ye Zhen in another way.

"How did you choose to drive an excavator?"

The topic jumped so much that Ye Zhen was a little unresponsive. He didn't dislike Tang Jielin's inquiring about his privacy. He thought for a while and replied: "The grades are not good, I have to find a way out for myself."

Based on the conditions of Ye Zhen's family, no matter how poor his grades are, with his elder brother around, his elder brother will find a relatively easy job by himself.

Before Tang Jie could ask, Ye Zhen spoke up by himself, "I was young when my parents passed away, and my elder brother was busy. No one cared about me, so I went out with my classmates. In middle school, I was very messy. My elder brother Just let me come to the construction site to endure hardships, and I chose to drive the excavator."

"That's pretty good." Tang Jielin commented, boy, with a serious job, he will have a sense of responsibility and gradually return to the right path.

It's just that Ye Zhen has always been under the protection of his elder brother. From school to the construction site, he has never really experienced beatings from society, so his character is so willful.

Ye Zhen fiddled with the phone in his hand, and asked quickly, "What about you?"

"Me? What am I? Why am I a cook?" Tang Jielin originally wanted to distract Ye Zhen, but Ye Zhen turned to him and asked him, "My family is not comparable to yours. My family is poor, and I started cooking big pot meals for the village. I became an apprentice to my master, and then I went to the city to study for a year or two, and then I opened a restaurant."

"Opened a restaurant? Then you come to work in the mountains?"

Tang Jielin paused, "The restaurant is closed now, so..."

Ye Zhen was very curious, upon hearing this, he immediately asked, "Why didn't you open it?"

"Hmm..." Tang Jielin's hesitant tone aroused Ye Zhen's curiosity even more.

"Why? Why don't you talk? Why don't you open it?"

"A little personal reason..."

"What's the reason?" The more personal and fascinating, the more Ye Zhen wanted to know.

Tang Jielin wailed in his heart, why did he bring the topic to himself?

Ye Zhen couldn't hear the reason, and felt like a cat was scratching in his heart. He knocked on the door, "Hello? You are talking, what is the reason? Is it because of a shortage of funds, or because of your poor craftsmanship..."

Ye Zhen doesn't like others, but Tang Jielin's cooking skills are quite good. Since the quality of the food is not bad and the restaurant has already opened, there shouldn't be any financial problems.

why?

"Is it because you are gay?" Ye Zhen just said casually, unexpectedly, the sound of water outside the door stopped.

Ye Zhen leaned on the door and listened carefully. The door was pulled away from the outside. He couldn't stand firmly on his feet. He leaned forward and plunged into Tang Jielin's arms. Fortunately, Tang Jie was quick to help him, otherwise he would The two can fall down the hurdle together.

"You..." Tang Jie was at a loss for words, "Do you still have a habit of eavesdropping on gay bathing?"

"Don't put gold on your face." Ye Zhen patted his clothes, "Don't interrupt, you haven't said why yet? Is it because you are gay?"

Ye Zhen was tall and tall, and he blocked Tang Jielin's way when he stepped towards the door, and he didn't want to let Tang Jielin leave until he heard the reason.

Tang Jielin had no choice but to break the jar, "Yes, let's do it."

"I just said that being gay is not a good thing." Ye Zhen was a little proud, "Is it because people know you are gay, so they stop going to your store to take care of business?"

It's all about this, Tang Jielin didn't intend to hide it, yes, no.

"Forget it, I had a boyfriend before, you met him." Tang Jielin paused for a moment, he didn't know if Aran was his boyfriend, he was at most Aran's backup, but all of this mattered It doesn't matter anymore, "After the breakup, he went to my store to make trouble several times, which really affected the business. At that time, he was not in the mood to continue driving, so he didn't do it."

Tang Jielin spoke in a calm manner, his tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion. This made Ye Zhen, who was a little complacent, a little overwhelmed. Did he mention Tang Jielin's sad incident?

"Okay, I told you everything, can I go back to my room first?"

Ye Zhen touched the tip of his nose, and took a step back guiltily. Seeing Tang Jielin walking out, he obediently followed.

With this interruption, Ye Zhen's thoughts were all on Tang Jielin, he forgot to be afraid, and when he arrived in the room, he was still brooding about what happened just now.

"Hey……"

Tang Jielin lit the candle, hung up his clothes again, and looked back at Ye Zhen, "What else do you want to say?"

"I..." Ye Zhen didn't think about what he was going to say, but he couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere, "I didn't want to expose your scars."

Tang Jielin was stunned for a moment. Ye Zhen had always been flaunting his might in front of him. He suddenly took a step back, and he was a little uncomfortable. "There are no scars. It happened half a year ago. It's all over."

"Half a year? Don't scare me. I saw you hugging him at the gas station that day."

Tang Jielin let out a sigh of relief, "I already told him very clearly that day, I think he will never look for me again."

The dim candlelight reflected Tang Jielin's face, his expression was as usual, and there was no trace of his bravado at all.

Ye Zhen glanced at Tang Jielin, "Where did you see him?"

Tang Jielin said casually, "You look pretty."

Ye Zhen still vaguely remembered the appearance of Tang Jielin's ex-boyfriend, "Is that kind of good-looking? You don't have good taste, you like that kind of girl, you're a man, I can't see that you are quite superficial."

In terms of good looks, Ah Ran is indeed a bit more feminine, not as handsome as Ye Zhen, but his delicate features are quite popular in the gay circle, so he is not as bad as Ye Zhen said.

Tang Jielin couldn't help but laugh, Ye Zhen's words were not unreasonable, he now felt that the relationship of being attracted to sex really can't last long, two people are together, it's about feeling, and the way to get along is to be comfortable with each other.

"It's superficial. I'm a person with no culture, so how deep can I be?" Tang Jielin laughed at himself.

Ye Zhen didn't speak, he was very slow in emotion, but he also faintly sensed that Tang Jielin might really let go, but this relationship still hurt him.

"Look at you pitiful, at worst, I won't target you in the future."

Tang Jielin opened his mouth and let out a "puchi" laugh, "Then I thank you."

Ye Zhen wanted to be fierce but couldn't be fierce, after all, he just said that he didn't target Tang Jielin just now, so he threw the blanket aside and went to the bed.

"What's so good about being gay, I advise you to get rid of your evil as soon as possible."

It was rare for Ye Zhen to have such a serious tone, and Tang Jielin also answered his words seriously, "Sexuality can be changed wherever it is said, just like you are afraid of the dark and ghosts, you can't change it."

Ye Zhen sat up from the bed in embarrassment, "I remind you kindly, you still want me, right?"

Conscience of heaven and earth, Tang Jielin really didn't mean to make fun of Ye Zhen, so he just said it casually, and just gave an easy-to-understand example. Who knew that Ye Zhen was so sensitive when he looked at a person who was big and rough?

Ye Zhen finally remembered the problem of his face, he threatened again: "Don't think you are pitiful, I really won't beat you, if you tell what happened tonight..."

"I'm going to die, I know it." Tang Jielin made a gesture of shutting up and reassured, "I promise I won't say anything about your fear of ghosts and darkness."

What a patriarch.
